"The entire Australian golf sector is wrestling with what a future without LIV or with a fiscally restrained LIV-lite might look like, as the South Australia government pushes on with spending $45m for an upgrade to a course still scheduled to host a LIV tournament from 2028."
"Smith was one of LIV's highest-profile recruits when he joined in 2022, weeks after winning the Open, in a deal reportedly worth more than $100m."
"Gavin Kirkman, chief executive of the PGA of Australia, said Smith will be discussing his future with his management in the coming weeks, before a meeting with Kirkman and his team."
